Sunday Evenings at Beartown Road

 Struggle Bus topics with guest speakers

Every family faces unique struggles; however, most families deal with the same common struggles: smart phones, calendars, discipline, sibling rivalry, etc.  Pastor Dave will be preaching on these topics on Sunday mornings.  During this Sunday evening growth group, a different "expert" will be teaching in greater depth on each topic.  Pastor Dave will be facilitating this growth group that combines up-front teaching as well as small discussion groups. 

Ruthless Elimination of Hurry

Too often we treat the symptoms of toxicity in our modern world instead of trying to pinpoint the cause. A growing number of voices are pointing at hurry, or busyness, as a root of much evil.

 The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry is a fascinating roadmap to staying emotionally healthy and spiritually alive in the chaos of the modern world.

Armor of God

Anyone who's been a believer for any length of time recognizes that there is a war going on for souls.  Our enemy is fighting to keep people out of Jesus' kingdom or neutralize the effectiveness of those who have enlisted.  God provides weapons for us to use for protection and for the fight.  His Armor is available to every believer.  We will discuss ways to use it!

This introduction to spiritual formation is full of John Mark Comer’s trademark mix of theological substance and cultural insight as well as practical wisdom on developing your own Rule of Life.
